The EL here finds the object "rates" and looks for an attribute named
"keys". That means that if rates doesn't have a public method named
getKeys, the EL won't find anything.
Which it does. Here's a complete example, class and test JSP, and the
HTML output I get
****** CLASS
package example;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Set;
public class SimTable extends HashMap<String, Object> {
public Set<String> getKeys() {
return keySet();
}
}
****** JSP
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

final example.SimTable data = new example.SimTable();
data.put("Bill", 100); data.put("Mary", 150); data.put("Fred", 200);
pageContext.setAttribute("data", data);

<p>data.getKeys():
